...Like almost all of my training, I play it by ear.<br /><br />A key point here is that when you build something with regular practice, when it comes to testing, you will often far surpass what you thought possible.<br /><br />For example, after every wod I used to do a skill practice circuit with 85 lb. overhead squats and 8 chest to bar pullups in a weighted vest. One day I tested my maxes on these and got 175 for 9 in the overhead squat, which was bodyweight at the time, and 32 consecutive chest to bar pullups in a weighted vest.Russ Greenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207664163068620797.post-89432907494346247052010-01-18T10:19:57.984+01:002010-01-18T10:19:57.984+01:00definitely makes sense. i appreciate a program th...definitely makes sense. i appreciate a program that has a cornerstone or focus that attacks weaknesses. do you have a set time frame for when you will adjust priorities in the second layer, or will you continue until you&#39;re happy with the improvement?anywherefithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12091994254084487624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207664163068620797.post-85405027982651058112010-01-17T18:26:03.355+01:002010-01-17T18:26:03.355+01:00It&#39;s pretty good out here in CA, Blair.

I used the opportunity to get better at gymnastics and jumping, two weak points for me. I&#39;ve now been back at the weights and running for six weeks and am able to set PR&#39;s again. <br /><br />Fitness for me is about two layers: a series of constantly varied workouts to develop general capacity, and a consistent, focused program designed to develop my specific weak points. The priority in the first is intensity, and the priority in the second is to focus on skill development.<br /><br />So, for example, I want to get better at front squats, handstands, and running. I might do the regular 3on/1off schedule with randomized workouts (pretty similar to what you do), but every cycle I&#39;ll also be sure to hit a bunch of handstand skill practice, at least a few sets of heavy front squats, and 1-2 middle to long distance running workouts. Make sense?Russ Greenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207664163068620797.post-84595109998287174722010-01-15T19:05:25.828+01:002010-01-15T19:05:25.828+01:00hey russ,

He does a whole fricking lot of interval training and heavy lifting in the 3-5 rep range (in addition of course to 2 CrossFit WOD&#39;s a day.)Russ Greenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02927699882167717900noreply@blogger.com
